<p>When my son applied to selective colleges 3 years ago, some had onerous SAT II requirements, ie 5 SATIIs. I wrote to those schools and explained what my son had going for him - 4 SATs, but also 7APs, USAMO, etc. The schools all assured me it was fine.</p>
<p>My daughter is applying this year, and I note some of the schools had made their requirements a bit more homeschool friendly (3 extra SAT IIs OR APs…, as opposed to just SATIIs)</p>
<p>She did consider USC as a safety. She could have gotten a half scholarship for being National Merit. They want three SATIIs. She only has two, but she has 10 APs ( a 3, a 4 and 8 5s in a variety of disciplines) and a 2380 on her SAT I. I assume they would just say it was fine. They responded they were absolutely inflexible on that extra SATII, so I responded with a “Thanks, we will not bother with you, then”</p>
